Scarborough, ME – In 1974, a disfigured phantom sought revenge; a year later, a disgruntled transvestite created the ideal mate. In the tradition of two of the music and film industry’s greatest cult classics comes “The Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde Rock ‘n Roll Musical,” an original romp through one of literature’s greatest stories. Directed by Andre Champagne, and featuring a score by Alan Bernhoft, “The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Rock ‘n Roll Musical” will be available on January 8th from Elite Entertainment at a suggested retail price of $14.98.
“Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is one of the greatest literary horror classics in history,” said Vini Bancalari, President, Elite Entertainment. “It was only a matter of time until a talented composer like Alan Bernhoft turned this classic cult favorite into a movie musical. With a solid score and good, old-fashioned horror movie moments, this unique film will attract a wide array of fans.”
In the tradition of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic, “The Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde Rock ‘n Roll Musical” puts Dr. Jekyll in modern day society, still hell bent on performing his good vs. evil scientific experiments. This time around, Mr. Hyde’s demonic dementia is coupled with sadistic serenading, as his victims fall prey amidst a rock ‘n roll score.
